Question: Refer to the data in Question #1.
a) From the list of percentages, calculate the mean and median. [2 marks]
b) From the list of percentages, calculate the range, the interquartile range,
and the standard deviation. [5 marks]
c) Construct a five-number summary, and a boxplot. [3 marks]
d) From the histogram estimate the distribution’s mode, and its full width at
half-maximum (FWHM). [3 marks]
e) Remove any possibly “extreme” percentages, and recalculate the mean, median, IQR, FWHM, and standard deviation. Which, if any, percentages did you drop? Briefly explain why. [5 marks]
f) Is the FWHM in (e) approximately equal to 2.5 times the truncated standard deviation in (e)? [1 mark]
g) Is the truncated standard deviation in (e) between IQR and ½ IQR? Is the
truncated standard deviation approximately equal to ¾ IQR? [1 mark]
